8 bedroom house

The Old Hall is a beautiful family home built circa 1890 and retains a wealth of original period features with well-proportioned rooms and high ceilings.

This immaculately presented property offers over 6,320 sq ft of extensive family accommodation with a further 3,340 sq ft of useful outbuildings. It has been lovingly maintained and restored by the current owners during their twelve year tenure.

The stone porch leads to a welcoming reception hall with log burner which opens up into an elegant dual aspect drawing room with feature fireplace and log burning stove, French doors to the patio and underfloor heating which extends through the entire ground floor. From the reception hall there is also a useful separate utility room and downstairs cloakroom.

The heart of the home is an open plan kitchen/breakfast room with a large island with Silestone worktop, seating, electric Aga and walk-in larder. This room has been carefully designed to suit modern day living with a comfortable sitting area with a log burning stove. French doors open to the front of the property and steps lead to a stunning dining room with a vaulted ceiling and exposed wooden beams. The ground floor accommodation is complete with a further sitting room with log burning stove, a boot/gun room with fitted storage units, additional cloakroom and a study/garden room with direct access to a delightful patio area with distant views.

Above the four car garage is a two-bedroom fully self contained annexe, currently used as a successful holiday let, but could easily be incorporated into the main house or ideally utilised by a dependant relative.

The Old Hall is approached via a private driveway, bordered with mature shrubs and stone walls, leading to a four car garage and numerous outbuildings. A further driveway leads to a courtyard where there are five stables, tack room, greenhouse and further useful outbuildings, suitable for a variety of uses. To the rear of the property are more formal gardens which enjoy private and far reaching views over the River Ure and paddocks beyond, with the entire plot extending to just over 5.5 acres in total.

The area is renowned for its stunning location, set on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and close to the historic Jervaulx Abbey. Just a short drive away is the market town of Masham, which has a supermarket, independent shops and a selection of excellent pubs, restaurants, cafes and an outstanding rated C of E Primary School. Also nearby, Aysgarth School which is one of the leading all boys' prep schools in the country. The city of Ripon is 15 miles away and offers an access by road to the north and south via the A1, while Northallerton and Thirsk offer mainline rail services to London Kings Cross. Harrogate, Leeds and Tees Valley are all within commuting distance.
